Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2002-0173 is an old local privilege escalation issue in SGI IRIX Checkpoint-Restart software. A buffer overflow in cpr on IRIX 6.5.10 and earlier may let a local user gain root privileges. Risk is mainly for organizations still operating legacy SGI IRIX systems. Exposure is likely limited to legacy SGI IRIX 6.5.10 or earlier systems with eoe.sw.cpr installed and local user access. It is not described as a remote network vulnerability. Prioritize if any SGI IRIX systems remain in production or sensitive environments. This is high impact on affected hosts, but scope is likely narrow and legacy-focused. Mitigation focus: Identify SGI IRIX 6.5.10 and earlier systems.; Check whether eoe.sw.cpr and cpr are installed.; Review SGI advisory 20020409-01-I and vendor patch archives..
